If you have lost 27 pounds since 9/28.......................RELAX!!!!!!!! It is expected that you willl only loose 20% of you excess weight per month/post op. You are not even 2 weeks post -op yet. AND you have been on your Period almost the entire time.. Pre-Op I never lost weight the week of my period or the week prior. Keep doing what you can to follow the rules Water, Protein , Vitamins as you wer instructed by your team and walk. Congrats on your loss by the way. Jackie

Hi, I am new to this site. I had Bypass on Sept 28, 2007 and so far I have lost 27 pounds I have been stuck for the last 7-10 days, only losing about 4 pounds in the last 7 days. I have also been on my period for 11 days! So, the scale is stuck or I am doing something wrong. I am having a hard time getting all of my protien and water down. Any suggestions? Please help I am very frustrated!

My HR and BP went through the roof after surgery. I was even on BP meds (for the 1st time) in the hospital. My resting heart rate is still about 10 beats a minute higher than my normal, which has always been pretty high (85 BPM). So, I get dizzy if I do too much. I'm hoping it settles down so I can get the clear to exercise. I'll find out at my appointment Thurs.

I had open Rny on Sept 10 and as of today I am down 30 lbs. I stalled for a week and then had a 5 lb loss. Shelley

Thank you for your encouragement Ann. I will struggle on to control myself until the band does it for me!! When I see my surgeon on Thursday maybe we will talk about when to fill....thanks again Debbie
